It depends on the amount of variation in the price of fuel. If the next fuel station is much cheaper than the one you are at, it makes sense to only buy enough fuel to be sure that you will make it to the next one. Maybe, for them, that was $12. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
